How it works

The Oracle binds its sight to the item in your hand. Hold any item and right-click the bookshelf at its heart. The Oracle's sight binds to your Stick (64 charges). The redstone ring burns away.

Right-click any block with the bound item to learn its Tier. The Oracle reads the Iron Block: Tier 4. Each reading spends one charge.

Good to know

• The Oracle works before Initiation, so it is often a new mage's first rune.
• Tiers decide the strength of most runes. See Tiers and the Block Tiers table.

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/oracle.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Setting	Default	What it does
use-charges	true	true = finite charges, false = infinite charges
charges	64	Charges bound onto the item. The pattern has no Tier blocks.
